Emily Thornberry sacked last year for holding working-class voters in "contempt" by appearing to mock a family's terrace home draped in England flags. and now a Labour Party candidate wrote a blog posting in which he said anyone who flies an England flag is a "simpleton or casual racist".

Are these unpatriotic Labourites the type of people we want running our country?

NO!
sorry, but flying an English flag from a window looks a bit thuggish to me .
^Waaycist !!!
Mr Ed miliband said it meant "respect" when fairly recently asked but no surprise the R word has been mentioned here by one of these lazy loons who are obsessed with causing division.
*** except during the football world cup !!!!
then they fly blue saltires - when they qualify.......oops, when did that last happen?
Nonsense.

Go to Ireland and there's flags everywhere.
we don't live in Ireland !
Seriously, it's a load of twaddle but coming from a Labourite like this, I am not surprised - next thing is that St George's Day will be scrubbed from the books as St George wasn't a UK citizen and a thug at that.
He wrote that 9 years ago......Does everyone else hold the same opinions now as they did 9 years ago?

If you allow that Wales has its own 'National Identity', then surely these words must have great resonance for those who champion the English National Identity?

///“It truly shows the degree our society has been infiltrated by incomers who are not ready to integrate.

“Very often, from what I see, some flying English flags are young people, who have been brought up in Wales, but who are loyal to England. This raises questions about us as Welsh people as well.

"It’s true that the parents are at fault, but it’s obvious that the education system has failed to create a Welsh Nationalism in these people, and I wonder also how many of us Welsh people, in our school days, tried to bring these people (aka chavs) into the Welsh circle."

Where is states 'Welsh' swap it for 'English/British' and where it says 'English' swap it for 'Pakistani/Polish/Muslim, etc' and see if you still feel as outraged.
We should be proud of our flag & fly it more often like they do in the US. I would like to see our national flag proudly displayed on every town hall & in every school classroom in the country, them as don't like it hard luck.

He would say that wouldn't he? he's Welsh with a Labour Party mindset so would not expect anything different from him!

//Huw Thomas, the Labour candidate for Ceredigion, said during World Cup that cars flying the England flag deserve to be vandalised.//

//sorry, but flying an English flag from a window looks a bit thuggish to me //

I know which statement I consider thuggish and it isn't flying a flag!!!
Why should a Welshman or any non-English folk be patriotic about the English flag? Am I missing something here?
^As per usual.

Yes, good point Talbot and no doubt this nasty piece of work was only looking down on the English flag flyers. Another brainwashed bot.
SVEJK ,explain to me why a Welshman should be patriotic about the English flag
You asked were you missing something. I said yes. Now you've asked the same question????

Has anyone stated that a Welshman should be patriotic about the English flag?
